Dresses are every girl’s no-nonsense closet staple. And what we mean by that is that you simply put it on and go! Without the need to layer or accessorize, a pretty mini, midi, or maxi dress looks good the moment you wear it. With the grueling Manila heat, a one-piece frock is also a clever way to stay cool and comfy while still looking stylish—and who doesn’t want that?
A favorite outfit combination done with a dress is to pair it with sandals—a resort wear formula we all know too well. With the familiarity comes the tendency to under dress when wearing this combo out. Though within the confines of your home, a daster-chic look is definitely appropriate, we suggest you avoid taking your pambahay aesthetic to the grocery and dress it up a notch. But don’t worry! We’re not talking about Heart Evangelista glam here, rather classy pair-ups that are easy to put together but look incredibly chic.
